Real mom review: “I bought this bra because I had a number of cute maternity dresses that needed a strapless bra, and at 25 weeks I cannot bear to wear underwire anymore, but there is no way I can go braless. This bra is so comfortable, offers great coverage, and has decent enough lift where I don't feel like I look sloppy. I bought two, and I may buy more after the baby as well because I just love it that much.” —Sarah via Motherhood Maternity 1822 Denim7 For All Mankind®AmariAngel MaternityB&meBabymoovBelabumbumBelly Bandit®BLANQIBody After BabyBravado DesignsBun MaternityCakeChantelle IntimatesCosabellaDL1961Everly GreyFalkeFillybooFreyaGOOD AMERICANHanky PankyHotMilkIMANIMOIngrid & Isabel®Insignia by SigvarisIsabella OliverKimi and KaiKinwolfeLAB40Le MystèreLeotaLILAC CLOTHINGLoyal HanaMadewellMaternal AmericaMermaid MaternityModern EternityNatoriNom MaternityNoppiesNurture-ElleOlianOn GossamerPAIGEPez D'OrPIETRO BRUNELLIProduceROSIE POPESavi MomSeraphineSPANX®SplendidStowaway CollectionTart MaternityThe Urban MaTiffany RoseUdderly Hot MamaWacoal Cake designs and stocks one of the most comprehensive range of nursing bras in the world.
